Menopause, or the cessation of menstrual periods, generally occurs in the 40s and 50s and marks the cessation of fertility, although age-related infertility can occur before then.
Silky lupine grows in northern areas from Washington and Oregon east to South Dakota. Tailcup lupine is found in Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming. Velvet lupine is found in an intermountain region from Oregon to Wyoming. Silvery lupine occurs from North Dakota and Idaho south to Arizona and New Mexico.
Several native plants can also grow in the garden, such as one variety called the sundial wild lupine (Lupinus perennis) that grows in USDA zones 3 through 9. Most lupines become 2 to 3 feet tall when mature, bloom in an array of colors, and attract butterflies and bees to their open flowers.
